Abstract
Disclosed is a particle analyzing apparatus including a first vessel of particulate electrolyte suspension, and an electrolyte-containing first chamber, and an electrolyte-containing second chamber, a sensing aperture formed in a wall between the vessel and the first chamber, a cleaning orifice formed in a wall between the first chamber and the second chamber, an electrical current passing through the sensing aperture to generate detectable signals with the passage of the particles through the sensing aperture, and a fluid recirculating system providing a fluid path from the second chamber through a filter for removing the particles to the first chamber, which is powered by waste kinetic energy of the suspension exiting from the sensing aperture.
